Yes, I'm with 9.3 on that barreled action - it's worth $350US maximum - not more. At that price, I'd buy it, although at #350.00, it's still a bit higher than I think it should be. You're sure the bore is goog? - all that emery work on the outside of the barrel and action front shows it was probably quite rusty at one time. Conditions are usually worse, inside. Nice calibre - love to have one. Incidently, the 10.75x68 ctg. shown does not appear to have been made on the 8x68S Magnum case. The 8x68 I now, has a .522" base diameter, only .010" smaller than the belt on that .375H&H round. I have made many 8x68 and 9.5x68 cases from .375H&H brass by triming to length, necking and turnintg the belts to .522". It works perfectly - and no, they aren't too weak ahead of the belt. The ctg. shown appears to have the smaller .474"(average) head more commonly associated with the 9.3x62. Could be an optical illusion? |
